Naoshima

Naoshima is a small island in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, internationally recognized for its fusion of contemporary art, architecture, and nature. Transformed from a quiet fishing village into a cultural hub, the island features iconic architecture by Tadao Ando, including the Chichu Art Museum, Benesse House, and Lee Ufan Museum. These structures use minimalist concrete forms, natural light, and careful siting to create a seamless dialogue between art, space, and the surrounding landscape.
